Angel, of course, did fine. Did not sound like a slick lawyer though. Just like someone who has the maturity, experience, and love of community necessary to do a good job.
Billy's plans for tourism development, mass transit, and affordable housing did get more light on it: exclusive resorts in Kona and Kohala, low-paid labor riding buses from Puna, Ka'u, and Hamakua, and abandonment of the dream of home ownership -- a few very wealthy people with lots of low-income residents desperate for work and a place to live. Not about community empowerment and not the kind of community I want.
Angel Pilago for Mayor!
